comorbidity
population density

serovar
serotype phenotype
The length of time between when a fertilized egg implants in the wall of the uterus and the birth of offspring.
gestation period duration
The state of a female and/or her offspring, and the processes which occur, during the period from conception to birth or termination of the pregnancy.
gestation
A description of the biological sample analysed.
specimen description
MLVA stands for Multilocus Variable Number of Tandem Repeats Analysis. This method can be performed by three distinct methodologies: by running the amplified locus in a gel , using a capilary electrophoresis apparatus or sequencing the resulting amplified fragment. The first two infer the number of repeats on each locus indirectly by the fragment size.
Multilocus Variable Number of Tandem Repeats Analysis typing
An assay for detecting bacteria by subjecting them to strain-specific bacteriophages.

Damion Dooley's note: This coordinate system must reference the particulars of a spheroid - its "radius = fn(lat,long)" formula - in order to yeild any distance metrics.
Alternate definition: A geographic coordinate system is a 2 dimensional coordinate system superimposed onto the surface of a spheroid.
geodetic datum
The representation of a conclusion of a diagnostic process.
